We refer here to the surprising construction made by Giuseppe Peano in 1890. He gave an example of a continuous function (called now the Peano curve) from the unit interval to the whole unit square. We show here the existence of a more…
We examine space-filling curves, which are surjective continuous maps from $[0,1]$ to some higher-dimensional space, usually the unit square $[0,1]^2$. In particular, we define Peano's curve and Lebesgue's curve, and state some of their…
In this paper, a study of topological and algebraic properties of two families of functions from the unit interval $I$ into the plane $\mathbb{R}^2$ is performed. The first family is the collection of all Peano curves, that is, of those…
We introduce Peano words, which are words corresponding to finite approximations of the Peano space filling curve. We then find the number of occurrences of certain patterns in these words.
Space-filling curves like the Hilbert-curve, Peano-curve and Z-order map natural or real numbers from a two or higher dimensional space to a one dimensional space preserving locality. They have numerous applications like search structures,…
The starting point of this paper is the existence of Peano curves, that is, continuous surjections mapping the unit interval onto the unit square. From this fact one can easily construct of a continuous surjection from the real line…
A space-filling function is a bijection from the unit line segment to the unit square, cube, or hypercube. The function from the unit line segment is continuous. The inverse function, while well-defined, is not continuous. Space-filling…
The discrete phase space and continuous time representation of relativistic quantum mechanics is further investigated here as a continuation of paper I [1]. The main mathematical construct used here will be that of an area-filling Peano…
Following our previous work on metamaterial high-impedance surfaces made of Hilbert curve inclusions, here we theoretically explore the performance of the high-impedance surfaces made of another form of space-filling curve known as the…
A self-avoiding plane-filling curve cannot be periodic, but we show that it can satisfy the local isomorphism property. We investigate three families of coverings of the plane by finite sets of nonoverlapping self-avoiding curves which…
This paper introduces a new way of generalizing Hilbert's two-dimensional space-filling curve to arbitrary dimensions. The new curves, called harmonious Hilbert curves, have the unique property that for any d' < d, the d-dimensional curve…
In this paper we investigate the evolution of the concept of area in Peano's works, taking into account the main role played by Grassmann's geometric-vector calculus and Peano's theory on derivative of measures. Geometric (1887) and…
Using the topologist sine curve we present a new functorial construction of cone-like spaces, starting in the category of all path-connected topological spaces with a base point and continuous maps, and ending in the subcategory of all…
For each integer n, an n-folding curve is obtained by folding n times a strip of paper in two, possibly up or down, and unfolding it with right angles. Generalizing the usual notion of infinite folding curve, we define complete folding…
Can you stretch and reform a curve such that it fills a square completely? This question dates back to 18th century, the origin of space-filling curves. It was proved affirmatively by many great mathematicians. In this document, we…
We describe a search for plane-filling curves traversing all edges of a grid once. The curves are given by Lindenmayer systems with only one non-constant letter. All such curves for small orders on three grids have been found. For all…
A plane curve $C$ in $\mathbb{P}^2$ defined over $\mathbb{F}_q$ is called plane-filling if $C$ contains every $\mathbb{F}_q$-point of $\mathbb{P}^2$. Homma and Kim, building on the work of Tallini, proved that the minimum degree of a smooth…
We consider $n$-folding triangular curves, or $n$-folding t-curves, obtained by folding $n$ times a strip of paper in $3$, each time possibly left then right or right then left, and unfolding it with $\pi /3$ angles. An example is the well…
We construct a continuously differentiable curve in the plane that can be covered by a collection of lines such that every line intersects the curve at a single point and the union of the lines has Hausdorff dimension 1. We show that for…
The square peg problem asks whether every continuous curve in the plane that starts and ends at the same point without self-intersecting contains four distinct corners of some square. Toeplitz conjectured in 1911 that this is indeed the…
